In the work there are pointed out the dangers which threaten the Existence as total and human specific way of being, it is showed that the mankind arrived to a critical situation in its evolution, which implies the necessity of some radical change of mentality, behaviour, social groups, society itself. The existence of the human of the technogen society is determined by the tendency “To Have”. This purpose is distinguished in the theoretical and practical activity of the human and the society. The numerical increse and qualitative modification of human’s necessities went to the intensification of activity of production and epuization of the natural resources. Beginning with the postwar period, in the reports and studies of the Occidental scientists, there are pointed out the negative consequences of the technico-scientific progress, of the intensive activity of the human which were calificated by the formula:”global problems”.
The ecological crisis completed by the anthropoecological global crisis threaten the humankind with the disapearrance of the conditions necessary for the conservation and reproduction of life. To avoid such a development of the natural process, the human, the contemporary society which are responsible for the destabilization of the biosphere, because of the absolute necessity of survival are obligated to change essentially their attitude towards nature. The scientific community, the philosophers do not just appreciate the level obtained by the human kind, but also crate programs of activity, orientated to the improvement of the situation. The work suggests a way of coexistence of human, society, biosphere, theoretically motivated by the Metatheory of Survival.
To elaborate a new way of the human existence, the author analyses the process of evolution of nature, of human, crossing out the existential conditions of the human of the informational, technogen, globalized society. The analysis, displayed in chapter one, allowed to ascertain that mankind in its istorical evolution, encountered before with critical situations, that the specific of the actual antropoecological crisis comes out from the fact that the biosphere has lost its capacity of reestablishing the balance which is characteristic to it. An optimist conclusion of the investigation informs us that the human/society possesses the ways necessary for survival. For becomin aware of the gravity of the situation, for adopting the necessary decissions the human must be orientated, guided. This objective may be accomplished by the Metatheory of Survival, the philosophy of the third millenium.
Motivating the necessity of the change of human’s mentality, through the redimensioning of the moral values, the author explains the ontological, metodological, epistemical, social, economical, political, axiological potential of the Metatheory of Survival (chapter 2). The analysis of the evolution of nature and human kind crossed out the interconexions of the existence and thinking, allowed the explanation of the organism’s reaction to the changes of the existential conditions.
This way is reasoned the necessity of elaboration of new cognitive programs which being put at the disposal of man and society, could allow them to adopt the optimal decissions for the sustaining of the biosphere’s balance and the lasting development of the human civilization.
In chapter 3 are updated the ethical conceptions of the philosophers of the ancient, medieval and modern world; is pointedd out religion’s role in promoting the moral values. This study allowed the author to motivate the necessity of the redimensioning of the moral values, of restructuring the axiological system of the technogen postindustrial society. A way of development of the contemporary world would be that of umanization of the social life, process sustained by a new way of thinking, communication and activity.
In chapter 4 the investigation remains in the limits of the same subject – the analysis of the cognitive and creative facultations of the contemporary man, displayed in the ethical approach of the occidental and national philosophy. Based on the multiple interpretations of the human way of existence, the author crosses out the problem of orientation of the contemporary man in the tremendous volume of information about the capacity, the abilities, the intereses of different persons, social groups, mankind, with the purpose of understanding the major semnification of the formula “To Have” and of the imperative “To Be”.
In chapter 5 is analysed the content of the strategies of survival, of the ensurance of security for the human existence and of the example of the lasting development of society. A sharp problem of the practical realization of this examples is the world’s polarization in developed states and undeveloped states. If in the states with a functional market economy, with democratic traditions, the example of the lasting development of the civilization could be applied without problems, then in the undeveloped states would be complicated to promote the principle of “ethical restrictions”, because the majority of the citizens are deprived of the elementary conditions and sources which keep up the organism’s life. The situation of the citizens of the poor countries is analysed in the work basing on the statistics from the the Republic of Moldova.
In “Conclusions and suggestions” are generalized the results of the
investigation, is confirmed the necessity of the radical change in the mentality of
contemporary man, realized basing on the redimensioning of the content of the
values, norms, moral principles.
